To prepare for training camp with the Red Wings, I hired a skate doctor and experienced firsthand the power of precise, individualized training. I had spent countless hours at power skating clinics over the years, but it was those focused, personalized sessions that made a real difference. That experience transformed how I think about training.
Then there was the mental side—something I had no training in but desperately needed. Four games after training camp, a slapshot to the face fractured my skull. The mental toll during recovery was significant and gave me a new perspective on the psychological side of development.
